There are virtually no schools in the Sham Tseng area and so most students (primary and secondary) are sent to schools in Tsuen Wan.
There are three schools in Sham Tseng:
- Emmanuel Primary School
- Sham Tseng Catholic Primary School - formerly Chai Wan Kok Catholic Primary School is relocated from Tsuen Wan for 2009-2010 school year
- Parkview-Rhine Garden Pre-school

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
“We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
